    Impossible. Lesnar would takedown Yvel and pumble him the whole fight. It'd look like Herring but worse.

    Werdum couldnt handle Lesnars size, possibility of a sub obviously exists but its a long shot.

    And im far from a Lesnar fan.

    I don't think Lesnar or Lashley will be able to take a good punch. In fact I expect Mir to knock Lesnar out this weekend.

    I dont think it would be smart for either fighter to stand and trade. Both are average at best strikers with suspect defense and punch resistance, no reason to stand and bang and risk getting clipped to lose the biggest fight of their lives.

    I expect them to hit the ground, and Lesnar will control Mir and win the fight.

    First off I can't believe you actually said someone shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Lesnar:lol:

    Secondly, a training partner more times than not will bull**** the public about his guy. Lesnar is NOT the equivalent to a purple belt in BJJ and you can see it when he fights. If he could sub someone then he would, but he CAN'T, so he's NO "EQUIVALENT" TO A PURPLE BELT IN BJJ. Did you believe Lesnar when he said he'll sub Mir?:lol: You probably did. If CROCK knew how to really finish a fight he would have finished Hearring and subbed him if he was a purple belt rather than dry hump him for 15 mins.

    Third, Hearring is NOT considered one of the best. He wouldn't even make a top 20 list of best HW'S these days. Hearring got handled by Jake O' Brian, that was proof right there Hearring is shot.

    As for couture, you're talking about a 46 yr old man that hadn't fought in like a yr or more around when he fought Lesnar. Randy is done, and even he had Lesnar breathing hard and grabbing the cage to keep Couture from taking him down. Just because Lesnar beat Couture doesn't mean he's the best at all. Lesnar has a belt, but it doesn't mean he's THE champion.

    Mir's title holds more weight IMO because he really worked to get to where he is. Things didn't just get handed to Mir like everything was for Lesnar. Lesnar beats Hearring and he gets a title shot? WOW:lol: Atleast Lashley is putting in real work. He didn't just win 1 fight then all of a sudden got a title shot and be considered the most devastating man to enter MMA. He's actually fighting his way up. Lesnar DIDN'T.

    And lastly, since you have the nerve to say someone's name shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Lesnar, then please DON'T mention Lesnar in the sentence as Fedor. Please stop that. It's ridiculous.

    In my opinion scurl, I would take Lesnar to beat Yvel by UD in the same way he got his UD vs Herring. Barnett had the mount so much time and had a very difficult time to finish him so clearly Brock wouldnt finish him. But he would control the fight.

    But Werdum would sub Lesnar. Werdum is more durable than Mir and don't gas as quickly as Mir(im not saying werdum has great cardio). Werdum has a better standup than Lesnar, more fluid. What is he gonna do? Put him down? He would get subbed quickly.

    Your entitled to your opinion but i assure you that wouldnt happen.:nono Yvel is a massive heavy who also happens to be one of the best Muay Thai strikers at his size. Yvel is useless on the ground but all it would take is a well timed knee high kick or punch and Lesnar would be toast. Remember Goodridge Yvel? That lasted no more than a few seconds.

    You said the same thing when Herring fought Lesnar that HH had too much "credentials" and Lesnar didn't have a chance. You might have said the same about Couture if I'm not mistaken, you always talk like your predictions are fact but I can assure you they are not.

    Man stfu already. Herring is way past his best. That being said anyone pulling for Lesnar prior to that fight is a tool. Hindsight always seems to allow you to repeat semantic bull****. Herring is/was an accomplished pro. Lesnar is not. Simple logic dictates Herring would have won and i stand by that. Obviously he did not but that doesnt then make Lesnar the real deal just because he bested Herring who was ALWAYS a nearly man in PRIDE. Dont make it into anything more than what it was.

    And no i never once said Couture would beat Lesnar. Look at Coutures history vs BIG heavies. He's ALWAYS come up short. Do the maths instead of riding Lesnars jock.

    LOL @ Gilbert Yvel, thats honestly the dumbest thing ive ever heard. Yvel stinks. Lesnar certainly is beatable, but Yvel and his dozen losses if not more will not beat Lesnar. Lesnar is the worst possible matchup for Yvel, Yvel would get absolutely mauled and the chance he lands a well-timed knee which is difficult to do on anyone let alone a great athlete and wrestler in Lesnar. Lesnar finishes Yvel.

    Werdum is a more difficult opponent stylistically but i'd take him over Werdum as well. And Werdum is a solid fighter. And like I said, Werdum can possibly submit Lesnar but I really dont see it happening. I'd like to think of Brock as a much more experienced, intelligent fighter now so I see him taking down Werdum quite easily whenever he wants and controlling him there for the duration of the fight.

    And back to the topic, Lashley is not the wrestler Brock. Brock has way better credentials and is a much natural HW. Hes simply better than Lashly by a country mile. Its not even close.

    How would you think Herring even had a remote chance of beating Lesnar. Lesnar is the worst possible matchup for Herring. Herring absolutely cannot handle wrestlers, just look at his fight with a much smaller, inferior collegiate wrestler in O'Brien. He was controlled the whole fight.

    Its only logical that a bigger, more athletic and successful collegiate wrestler would do the same.

    And why do you think the UFC, less than a year later tried to put Herring in there with another collegiate wrestler and prospect in Cain Velasquez? Because the same damn thing would happen, Cain would maul Herring.

    So no, anyone pulling for Lesnar is not a tool. Those who didnt think Lesnar would beat Herring are the real tools.
